ARTICLES OF FAITH FULL
We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon him our nature, yet without sin honored the divine law by his personal obedience, and by his death made a full atonement for our sins that having risen from the dead, he is now enthroned in heaven and uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Saviour.

We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true centre of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
